2. The 6 levels of Headings
From now on, the remaining lessons are designed to enable you to create and modify a web page. The steps from now will a far more impressive page than what you have already made.. Each lesson you learn, will enable you to better understand the HTML code of any page you encounter.
Now, I'll show you the tags used for making headings. Headings are what are used to create sections on a single page.
Heading levels range from level 1 (Most Important) to level 6 (Least Important). Like an outline, your heading levels should have logical, consistent order and be parallel.
Heading Tags

<h1>Heading 1</h1>

Heading 1
<h2>Heading 2</h2>

Heading 2
<h3>Heading 3</h3>

Heading 3
<h4>Heading 4</h4>

Heading 4
<h5>Heading 5</h5>
Heading 5
<h6>Heading 6</h6>
Heading 6
Well, now that you have seen what shapes headings come in, let's work on your web page shall we. First you need a topic, something that makes you want to share knowledge with the rest of the world. The examples from now on, I'll use to make a web site on UFO's, Paranormal activity and other mysteries. This is a catch all theme, and allows for a lot of leverage. If you are stuck for ideas, click here (Themes) for some themes that might give you some ideas on web pages.

Example
Now, let's see, the main page for our site on UFO's and such, We'll need a big attention grabber header, probably use the <h1> tag's to achieve this. There should be a little bit of information about what the site is going to be about. And that should do for this part of the lessons.

So make a new file, call it whatever you want, normal main pages are called index.htm or main.htm. Though logically it can be anything you want. But I digress, create your file and add the following code to it :

<html>
<head>
<title>UFO's, Paranormal and other Mysteries</title>
</head>
<body text=black bgcolor=white link=red>
<h1>UFO's, Paranormal and other Mysteries</h1>
<p>
Welcome to my web site, this site is going to have various
pages pertaining to information I have read and have found very
interesting. Subject matter will range from UFO's to ghosts and
there specter friends, prophecy's and theories which will make
your mind query all that you know. <p>
All of the information contained within these pages can be found in full in the <b>X-Factor</b> magazine. For these pages only excerpts have been used. All pictures have been found on various web sites around the world.<p>
I hope you enjoy this site<p>
</body>
</html>

Save your file, open a new browser and open your file and then compare it to this (Example 2) to see what it looks like. With how the code works.
I know, it's still not perfect or something great to look at, but then again, you have only just started, let's continue on shall we.
